Since NASA was established in 1958, it has landed rovers on distant
planets and launched telescopes deep into space--all so that we can look
back to the beginning of time.
Through stunning images provided by NASA and fascinating profiles and
sidebars of lesser known contributors to the NASA program, young space
fans will learn how NASA started, how it faced challenges along the way,
how much it has achieved, and how it will continue to move forward in
the future.
NASA's boundless curiosity and urge to explore lies at the heart of the
human adventure. NASA rises to the urgent challenges we face, using its
massive reach and expertise to find answers to vital questions like: How
can we learn to live in a more extreme natural environment?
Inspired by Rory Kennedy's documentary of the same name (airing
10/2018), Above and Beyond aims to leave audiences hopeful and inspired
about the future of our planet--and convinced that NASA is essential to
our continued survival as we mark its important anniversaries and dream
of new discoveries to come.
